That's just a made up fact by the TL;TR bot. In the linked source it just says "Chromium-based browsers including Chrome and Microsoft Edge. " Nothing about Firefox.

For government documents you need nothing but a plain old certificate to create a digital signature. If there is a single instance of trust (such as a government) there absolutely no point in using a blockchain.

Decentral NFTs for concert tickets would only make sense if you were looking for a solution to liberate the second market, i.e. people selling tickets to other people without involvement of the host of the concert. Such a model is neither beneficial for the hosts (as they wouldn't benefit from the second market sales) nor the visitors (as the second market typically leads to even higher prices). If you meant a way to return/trade tickets on a platform controlled by the host / the original issuer of the tickets, then there's again no need at all for crypto aside plain old, stupid certificates.

Can you reach the server's IP in general from other PCs in your network? Or is the issue restricted to the nextcloud service?

Isn't clear and transparent rules a pretty good way to tell users what to expect from a community? I mean, you are free to offer or request help elsewhere if you don't want to comply to the set of rules. You can even start your own community if you'd like. I think it's for sure better than individual moderators deciding based on a gut feeling and blocking random posts and users.

From my perspective deep fakes will lead to a short but massive peak of harassment until everyone is aware of the technology and its capabilities. Once the technology reaches the mainstream and everyone is able to generate such content with ease, people will just stop caring. If these videos are everywhere, it's easy to play it off as a fake. It might even help victims of actual revenge porn. Virtual nudity will become less of a deal, probably even in real life.

From my perspective the bigger issue of deep fakes is news. We already have a huge issue with lies on social media and even TV and newspapers today and once we can no longer trust what we see it will be incredibly hard to build up trust for any sources.

Fake videos of politicians being spread to harm their credibility, fake videos of war crimes to justify an attack. Or vice versa if there's an authentic video of a crime the offenders will just deny the authenticity. But in contrast to Trump's "fake news" claims today, it will be more or less impossible for normal people to fake check anything.

If you can run EXE filles on your work PC and you just don't have administrator rights to install software, you should be able to download a portable version of your favorite browser.

I used portable Firefox, Chrome, Notepad++, Eclipse, Sysinternals stuff and many more without problems that way.

Disclaimer: Althought this probably works technically, it might still violate some company policy.

Thank you so much for sharing the results. Very interesting to see the outcome after participating in the survey.

Out of interest: do you know how many participants came from Lemmy compared to other platforms?

Questions 11, 12, and 20 we're all graded incorrectly as the correct answer contradicts the specified source.

Based on the automatic grading I got 12 out of 20. Based on the feedback / comments I got 15 correct.

I'm quite proud that within the human photographies I classified 100% correct but I guess it'll be impossible for me if the algorithms just improve a tiny little bit.

That's nothing some glue and screws couldn't fix! :D

You could also argue that cardboard isn't the right material to build shelves and tables from. Yet Ikea makes them and - at least in my experience - they're pretty stable and good-looking. So why not make a cabin from firewood? :-P
